French footwear brand ZESPÁ introduces its new Zspecial project that kicks off with a retro-themed running sneaker. The silhouette is detailed with bright palettes inspired by summery hues. The launch spotlights the brand's signature ZSP6 sneaker model.
It is reworked to have a 70s feel to it, with bright blue and yellow detailing the entire silhouette from top to bottom. This is meant to represent the Mediterranean coastline, which is home to ZESPÁ's brand. The sneaker is made by hand and uses premium suede and leather materials for an elevated look and feel. It features some branding details done in gold as a slight contrast. This can be found on the tongue and the footbed, which all sits on top of a lightweight sole unit.
